Aloha everyone, 

My name is Alicia! I was raised primarily in Hawai'i, where I learned how to freedive and began my photography business at the age of 15. My career has taken me all over the world; I've won gold in competitions like Our World Underwater; my work has been featured in publications such as Conde Naste and Oprah Magazine; and I've had successful partnerships with clients like Hyundai, Samsung, Ocean Conservancy, and Sandals resorts. 

 

I recently moved to a small island off the coast of South Carolina to take care of my mom as she was battling cancer and I'm now grateful to celebrate that she's cancer free!

I've decided to stick around the area a bit longer to weigh my options: move home to Hawaii or explore the Caribbean a bit. What're your thoughts?

 

Thanks for reading this! I look forward to reading a few of the other introductions here too! 

Also, for anyone interested, my instagram account is: www.instagram.com/aliciaunderwater

 

Cheers!

A

    If possible, it might be great for you to keep both your homes, the one in Hawaii and the one in a South Carolina Island which gives you ready access to the Caribbean.  You would then have access to two diving paradises, Hawaii and the Caribbean.  Maybe three if the diving from your South Carolina Island is at all interesting.  The marvels of modern air travel may well allow you to juggle all three, that is if your land obligations are compatible with a diverse underwater life.

    Marauder Pride! Very cool. Easy diving here than South Carolina sis. 

    For sure! I miss it so much but Hawai'i will always be there for me when I'm ready to come home. My mom was verging on stage 4 cancer in 23/24 and, though she beat it, I realized she might not always be here.

    So I'm soaking in time with her now and I'm grateful to do so ❤️

    Enjoy time with your mum. Great news on her health! Come dive with me when you're home.

     

    Best,
